Henri-Cartier Bresson, at 86, is the old master of European photography. Paris-the city and its people-has pervaded his work ever since he first exchanged his paintbrushes for a camera, influence by the Surrealist movement of the late 1920s. A Propos de Paris presents the photographer's personal selection of more than 130 of his best photographs of Paris, taken over 50 years. As ever, his vision transforms photojournalism into high art, revealing images of Paris with a rare, dreamlike, almost crystalline clarity. He unfolds before our eyes a kind of intellectual reconstruction of the city, reaching far beyond the cliches of tourism and popular myth.
'As a kindred spirit, Paris gives him her moods. To each his own Paris...all that she offers is on view, for anyone who knows how to see her, take her, and love her'.
